Jordon Cotton, 2009 Ambassador for Easter Seals Prince Edward Island

The ambassador for this year’s PEI Easter Seals campaign is ten-year-old Jordon Cotton, a grade four student at Alberton Consolidated Elementary School. Jordon, son of Angela and Paul Cotton and brother of 12-year-old Amber and 8-year old Christopher, lives in Alberton.

Jordon has cerebral palsy and travels either with a wheelchair or a walker. He is an amazing young man with a quick and ready smile and a huge love for hockey. Go Maple Leafs!

Jordon is very excited to be the 2009 Easter Seals Ambassador. “My motto is Shoot for the Stars. I am very proud to be the Easter Seals Ambassador,” said Jordon.

Jordon will travel across PEI visiting schools during the annual Tim Horton’s Easter Seals School Tour scheduled for six days in April, and also take part in the Easter Beef Show and Sale. He will be a special guest on the 2009 Easter Seals Telethon, set to broadcast live from Confederation Centre of the Arts at a new and exciting new time slot, on Sunday, March 1, from 2:00-5:00 P.M. on CBC Television. He’ll share the stage with co-hosts Bruce Rainnie and Matt Rainnie and a top-notch cast of entertainers. The three-hour telethon will enable Islanders to call in pledges on a toll-free line staffed by volunteers from Aliant. The show will also be an opportunity to feature businesses and organizations that are supporting the Easter Seals Campaign through their fundraising efforts.
